Pulse-On-Pulse  
• Uses a sequence of varying pulse wave shapes to produce a TIG-like bead appearance and  
excellent weld properties when MIG welding aluminum.  
• Pulse-On-Pulse® controls arc length and heat input together, making it easier to achieve good  
penetration.  
For more information see Nextweld® Document NX-2.10  
Pulse-On-Pulse® on 3mm Aluminum  
®
Power Mode  
• Uses high-speed regulation of output power to deliver extremely fast response to changes in the  
arc, for example, when using a whip technique.  
• Improved MIG welding performance, including low spatter, very uniform, consistent bead wetting  
and controlled penetration.  
• Great for low voltage applications on thin steel and stainless steel material less than 20 gauge  
(0.7 mm).  
• Delivers excellent arc characteristics on aluminum and other alloys such as silicon bronze and  
nickel alloys.  
Power Mode® aids  
bead wetting  
and penetration  
on aluminum.  
Power Mode® reduces  
spatter and improves  
bead appearance,  
even for low voltage  
procedures on  
stainless.

Pulsed MIG  
• Varies weld current between peak (high heat) and background (low heat) current to provide  
better control of heat input.  
Background  
Step Off  
• Reduces warping and burnthrough on thin materials.  
TIME  
• Enables in-the-flat, horizontal, vertical up, or overhead welding without a slag system. Great for  
hard automation, robotic, and high production semiautomatic applications.  
• Optimized GMAW-P waveforms are available to use on aluminum, carbon steel, high strength  
low alloy steel, stainless steel, and nickel alloys.
